Filter by:Assessing speech intelligibility in a pilot study of patients speaking with a mask microphone while being treated with standard of care non-invasive ventilation. This is a feasibility study to test the microphone in a real world setting.
With advancing age, adults experience increasing speech understanding difficulties in challenging situations. Currently, speech-in-noise difficulties are rehabilitated by providing hearing aids. For older normal-hearing adults, however, hearing devices do not provide much benefit since these adults do not have a decreased hearing sensitivity. The goal of the "Speech Perception with High Cognitive Demand" Project is to evaluate the benefit of a new auditory-cognitive training paradigm. In order to provide maximal benefit for older, normal-hearing adults, a validation of the new training materials is required. In a pilot study, the investigators will evaluate the new auditory-cognitive training paradigm in 15 young, normal-hearing adults (18-30 years). Based on these results, the training paradigm can be further optimized for older adults.
Purpose of the study is the validation and cultual adaptation of the Turkish translation of the London Speech Evaluation Scale (LSE-T), so that it would be used as an assessment tool for Turkish head and neck cancer patients. There is no validated Turkish version of LSE to measure severity of perceptual speech in head and neck cancer patients.
The focus of this investigation is to compare the effectiveness of the AAC Generative Language Intervention approach to an AAC Standard of Care condition on preschool sentence productions. All children will use existing AAC iPad applications.
